作曲 : Alex Lifeson / Geddy Lee
I knew he was different, in his sexuality
I went to his parties, as the straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider reality
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that he was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But he's nobody's
Herosaves a drowning child
Cures a wasting disease
Herolands the crippled airplane
Solves great mysteries
Heronot the handsome actor
Who plays a hero's role
Heronot the glamor girl
Who'd love to sell her soul
If anybody's buying
Nobody's hero
I didn't know the girl, but I knew her family
All their lives were shattered
in a nightmare of brutality
They try to carry on, try to bear the agony
Try to hold some faith
in the goodness of humanity
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that she was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
But she's nobody's
Herothe voice of reason
Against the howling mob
Herothe pride of purpose
In the unrewarding job
Heronot the champion player
Who plays the perfect game
Not the glamor boy
Who loves to sell his name
Everybody's buying
Nobody's hero
As the years went by we drifted apart
When I heard that you were gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart
Hero
